Police say an officer responded to a request for extra patrol at 1:30 a.m. after a woman observed a man trying to get into the gate at her home on Stearns St. in Fayetteville before getting into a car with other people in it.

A responding officer from the FPD cornered the car on a dead-end road and was attempting to approach the vehicle when the driver revved the engine and charged the officer. The officer reported diving back into his patrol car as the vehicle drove past him.

After a brief chase, the vehicle crashed and its three occupants emptied. Two of them ran away and the officer detained the third, a 16-year-old with a head injury, who was transported to the hospital.

Another officer later detained Guerrero, the vehicle's driver, at the scene of the accident. He was found with marijuana and an owner's manual for a vehicle that police were able to confirm had been broken into.

Guerrero was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, two counts of breaking and entering, theft, reckless driving, running a stop sign, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, leaving the scene of an accident, driving without a license, second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

He is being held in the Washington County Detention Center on a $15,000 bond.
